A mysterious cigar-shaped object spotted tumbling through our solar system last year may have been an alien spacecraft sent to investigate Earth, astronomers from Harvard University have suggested. *yes I know it's CNN* https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/06/health/o ... index.html

Here's a direct link to the abstract of the paper, in case anyone wants to bypass CNN but still read about the research -- https://arxiv.org/pdf/1810.11490.pdfAnd also some work published in 2017 about the idea that previously observed fast radio bursts could be powering just this sort of probe (direct to the Harvard site) -- https://www.cfa.harvard.edu/news/2017-09

Next the scientist will tell us that the Egyptians didn’t build the pyramids and the Incas didn’t build the original Machu Picchu and that they have found the lost city of Atlantis.
This must be from a less advanced world. Everyone knows that the really advanced one have cloaking technology.
Sorry the last part was in jest. I don’t believe the Egyptians or Incas built them. No way - we can’t even do it today with modern tools.

Lol
Simple...
Just the math to make the ramp is 3-5 times greater to build than the pyramid itself. So if you think the pyramid is huge. The ramp would be bigger. So might have to look at it a bit closer than a simple ramp.

So might have to look at it a bit closer than a simple ramp. Roman concrete is much better than today's concrete too. Don't judge the past by what we can or cannot do today. Did you actually do the math? I don't think so.

Interesting point. Ever wonder why we can’t make that today? We can get close but a concrete that gets stronger in water is a very modern development.
I haven’t done a lot of things but I don’t always need to...
It’s all a point of view. There’s a lot of bias from so called experts who are personally and professionally biased. Egypt is clearly one area where those so called experts will push a square peg in a round hole to make it true.

Everybody knows the pyramids are landing platforms for alien spaceships.

Clearly I am no expert but one doesn’t need to “see” the differences in building technique and the HUGE blocks that are moved into precise position that we are just finding out that it has not just global but interstellar links.
Explain how that is done with the ability of the time...
Ever try to carve a granite block with brass tools? Not possible. It’s simple math. In order to “cut” you need something stronger and tougher than what is being cut.
I fully admit I am no expert but I do question experts that don’t talk common sense.
Common sense - that shit wasn’t made 3-5,000 years ago and not by Egyptian or Incas for their relative location.

Ya’ll talk about “them” and “us” like it’s different critters. There is ample evidence of lost technology in our history. Seems pretty obvious to me that “we” ARE “them”. How many times have civilizations broken apart and rebuilt somewhere else? North America is a prime example.
